Poetry: Insomnia

by whatname

Created on: July 27, 2009

no words i have to stand against
the sleep that comes to peacefully haunt me.
there is no dream i'd miss
due to fear of knowing
the truths that my mind covers from me.

yet insomnia takes me
deep into the mysteries of the night,
where each thought is free to arise,
when my inner being, in freedom, just is.

one more thought
and i say good bye.
one more word,
from my soul i cry:

that you open up and live,
that you stop taking yourself so seriously,
and freely dwell in yourself and the other,
as you embrace the gift of life and love.

that you fear not, i pray,
the truth of death.
that you live and die,
and forever change,
always loving
through and beyond yourself.
